As per the title, I'm keen to find some recommendations for books similar to House of Leaves. I'm not necessarily looking for ergodic literature, but more things that have similar vibes and thematic preoccupations.
So like, novels that are about obsession with cultural artifacts; that have big moments of digression; and explore said artifact in like a wider context (eg the House is also like, the Navidson Record, and the footnotes, and journal articles etc). The other go-to here is Infinite Jest, which does similar things with The Entertainment and the filmography of Himself Himself.
Stuff that's closer to literary fiction also appreciated for this!
